Aims:
This study introduced a modified technique in two-stage revision arthroplasty to insert functional spacer using modular components coated with antibiotic-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate.
Methods:
Since June 2006, we used the construct in twenty-three consecutive patients (17 with infected arthroplasty, and 6 with septic arthritis of the hip).
Results:
Mean follow-up was 48 months (range 30-84 months). Two patients were excluded (no second stage), two patients had persistent infection, 19 patients received successful re-implantation at the second-stage.
Conclusion:
The technique provides a construct that can be used safely and successfully as a functional, spacer in two-stage revision arthroplasty.
